🚨The Trump admin is moving to terminate Temporary Protected Status for half a million Haitians in the United States, seemingly illegally moving up the expiration date from next February to August of this year. In a single day, 500,000 people could lose work authorization and deportation protections.

Wonder if there's a 4 page document that's really more of a pamphlet anywhere that heavily implies what we get to do if there's a tyrannical king again

If this is a surprise to you, you're either maliciously tuning out an obvious truth, or deeply ignorant about the scope and evil of Western genocide support. There's no third option here.

Massive turnout in Portland, Oregon at City Hall to protest against Trump & Musk and the fascist American regime. Thousands of people out. A group broke away from city hall and is now marching. I cannot see where the march starts nor where it ends.

There are a million reasons to call our reps right now, but when I called Padilla's office the staffer I spoke to had no idea that some Deaf federal employees have lost access to ASL interpretation, and that the White House has stopped providing ASL. If you're able, please mention this to your reps!

Hey it’s apparently all Nazis all the time tonight- let’s stop using degenerate as a pejorative. It was literally used on people who “degenerate” the “master race”. Meaning mixed race people, queer people, disabled people, and other such undesirables.

Breaking: A federal judge sides with Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and has just blocked Trump's anti-trans EO banning care under the age of 19 via a TRO. This is the second federal judge in a row to conclude that the President's EO is likely unconstitutional.

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

I just don't know what to say to all of the probationary federal employees being laid off right now... I'm so sorry. But for all of us? This is a five-alarm fire. Please call your reps and give them hell.

And now consider that Trump knows the press thinks like this. Understands that the more he pushes on them, the more they think that backing down is strategic. Think about how that might incentivize him. And consider how maybe the media not only aren’t being strategic but also enabling fascism.

Just to get an idea of how wild it is, there's a Spanish language conspiracy movie where they get a device to detect blue tooth devices and go to a graveyard and say that they the vaccinated are dead emitting wifi signals.

Seriously. Even if you are a sitting MOC and truly believe your hands are tied on procedure (they're not), get out there and help people. It's why you said you wanted the goddamned job. Handing out food to those in need. School supplies, toiletries, and yes, fucking eggs. Make a difference. Help.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

As DOGE began infiltrating government agencies and targeting federal staff for termination, I started interviewing tech workers on the front lines. With the mass layoffs unfolding today, and with their permission, I'm sharing their stories. This is what it's been like to endure Musk's campaign.

Last year I served as executive producer on a new audio adaptation of Carmilla, which is my fav vampire tale. The cast and crew are an all-star audio drama dream team. It’s a really great adaptation, beautifully done. And the first episode is out today!

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

We did this. Back in the 19th and early 20th century. They were called "insane asylums" and one of their key features was the idea that they would be entirely self-sustaining...meaning the "inmates" worked everything from janitorial to agriculture to domestic service for the medical staff.
